Indeed, it pretty much tied sales of the original in its first month alone.

Anyhow, here are the top 20

Quote:

1. Red Dead Redemption (Rockstar San Diego/Take-Two, Xbox 360)
2. Red Dead Redemption (Rockstar San Diego/Take-Two, PS3)
3. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Nintendo, Wii)
4. UFC 2010: Undisputed (Yuke's/THQ, Xbox 360)
5. UFC 2010: Undisputed (Yuke's/THQ, PS3)
6. Wii Fit Plus (Nintendo, Wii)
7. New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Nintendo, Wii)
8. Alan Wake (Remedy/Microsoft, Xbox 360)
9. Pokemon SoulSilver Version (Game Freak/Nintendo, NDS)
10. Skate 3 (EA Canada/Electronic Arts, Xbox 360)
11. Lost Planet 2 (Capcom, Xbox 360)
12. New Super Mario Bros (Nintendo, Wii)
13. Pokemon Heartgold (Nintendo, DS)
14. God of War III (Sony Santa Monica, PS3)
15. Just Dance (Ubisoft, Wii)
16. Mario Kart, with wheel (Nintendo, Wii)
17. Super Street Fighter IV (Capcom, PS3)
18. ModNation Racers (United Front/Sony, PS3)
19. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Infinity Ward/Activision, Xbox 360)
20. Wii Sports Resort (Nintendo, Wii)

Kind of sad to see Mario Kart Wii outselling Modnation Racer.

And Blur, Split/Second are no where on the list.

Also interesting to see Wii Sports Resort hang around the charts since it was bundled with the Wii the first weekend of the month.

An interesting look at the May numbers as well as general trends throughout the industry.
